Hello, I am trying to autogenerate a new guid in my sql statement. Here is a sample of my code:string comments = "CREATE TABLE comments (domaininfoid UNIQUEIDENTIFIER PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL," +
I've have a data flow task where I'm importing data into a SQL Server table. All of the fields are mapped, and the source table does not have the uniqueidentifier column (and the destination table will have a uniqueidentifier column). How do I generate a uniqueidentifier for that column without specifiing a default value in the database design? Or is that the only way to do this?
Ok I have a query "SELECT ColumnNames FROM tbl1" let's say the values returned are "age,sex,race".
Now I want to be able to create an "update" statement like "UPATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race" dynamically and execute this UPDATE statement. So, if the next select statement returns "age, sex, race, gender" then the script should create "UPDATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race + gender" and execute it.
I have a database that is far from being rational! I need to query the tables to get a hierarchy resultset. Here is the structure:levelOne levelOne_A levelTwo levelThree levelFourmy problem is that table levelOne_A and table levelTwo have data that are considered to fall underneath levelOne. However the data is far different from each other so I can not able merge both into one.so the it should look like this:levelOne levelOne_A AND levelTwo levelThree levelFourAny ideas how I can get my hierarchy structure?Thanks for your help!
im creating a custom sql statement where my code starts like tt.. its a double query and how do i link the 2nd part to the first part (select * from PO where 1=1)?<script runat="server"> protected void CheckBox1_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { strquery += " and PO between " + textbox1.text + " and " + textbox2.text; } protected void CheckBox2_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { strquery += " and Dlvdate between " + textbox3.text + " and " + textbox4.text; }</script> im a serious newbie with C#
Now I'm trying to write a search module. Therefore I have to create a view, with all datas to make it easy for searching. Unfortunately I have a table, which creates a tree (let's say, it's a navigation tree). For the view, I like to have the navigation as a path:
Hi, I am new to SQL Server and need your help. I have a table (old_table) with about 500 columns and each column of type varchar. I have to generate a table (new_table) which has all the columns of the old table but with different data types.
Is there a way I can use the syscolumns to generate a “create table� statement?
I was wondering if I could have a query like this: CREATE USER 'Firstname Lastname' FOR LOGIN 'DOMAINuser' WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA=[dbo] The combination of firstname and lastname does not seem to work.
I have been using: sp_grantdbaccess 'DOMAINuser', 'Firstname Lastname' but i cannot specify DEFAULT_SCHEMA with that sp.
I am trying to create a new column 'COL_4' and, in the same step, create a case statement off of the new col. I know that the code below will not execute. I realize that I could get ride of COL_4 in my code below and concatonate but I need to keep Col_4 in the output.
SELECT COL_1 ,COL_2 ,COL_3 ,COL_4 = COL_1 + COL_2 ,COL_5 = CASE WHEN COL_1 THEN 'SOMETHING' END FROM TABLE_1 ;
In general, What is the best approach in creating a dynamic updatestored procedure, that can handle recieving varying input paramters andupdate the approporiate columns.
Is it possible to have part of a table name used in a CREATE statementcontained in a variable? Here's what I'd like to do, althoughobviously the syntax of this isn't quite right or I wouldn't be hereasking:DECLARE @TblPrefix char (3)SET @TblPrefix = 'tst'CREATE TABLE @TblPrefix + TestTable (col1 int)The point there is to have a table named tstTestTableThe reason I need to do this is that my ISP will only give me onedatabase to work with and I'd like to have two copies of theapplication I'm developing running at the same time. So I'd like torun the sql script that creates the tables with TblPrefix set to "dev"and then run it again with TblPrefix set to "liv"thankseric
I always know that the ReportPackId and SupplierPartyIdentifier will be identical for all rows because of the Where condition, and therefore I want all AdditionalPartyIdentifiers to be in columns instead of a new row. Is this possible?
I am creating a web application that uses a using a web service to get data for my reports. Since the webservice only accepts 1 parameter called "sql" (the sql select statement), I am using the report's query string to get the data.
Here is the data source and dataset info I am using:
DataSource Name: WebService Type: XML Connection string: http://localhost/myWeb/myWebService.asmx Credentials: No credentials
DataSet Query tab: Name: WebService Data source: WebService Command type: Text Query String: <Query><SoapAction>......</SoapAction></Query>
Here is a sample of the <Query> string that I use when I first build the report:
<ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="true">GetDatasetResponse{}/GetDatasetResult{}/diffgram{}/NewDataSet{}/Results</ElementPath> </Query> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ When the user selects a report in the web application, they are prompted for information about the sql statement, and then I can rebuild the <Query> xml fragment, substituting the new sql statemet for the default one. for example, the statement "Select * From Reports" would be replaced with "Select * From Customers where LN = 'Smith'".
Then I want to attach that new <Query> statement to the report and run it. How can I set this information in the report? I can't find anything that talks about it, but there must be some way!
I know the word 'With' is a SQL Reserved; I created a SQL Script Generator that creates insert statements to copy data from one SQL Server database to another. If a row contains the word 'with' or 'With' the insert statement fails. Is there a way around this? The script is executed in the Query Analyzer window of SQL Server.
The record below is an example of a row that fails.
Insert Into [Contact] ([Active],[AddressID],[Birthday],[Birthmonth],[ContactType],[CreatedBy],[CreatedDate],[Description],[Employed],[FirstName],[HasResume],[LastName],[MiddleName],[ModifiedBy],[ModifiedDate],[Personality],[RowVersion])
Values ('False', 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, '', 'Wants to get back with Van Halen', 'False', 'David', 'False', 'Roth', 'Lee', '', '', '', '')
The error message shown is:
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'with'. If this statement is a common table expression or an xmlnamespaces clause, the previous statement must be terminated with a semicolon.
I have a problem with CREATE DATABASE statement, since it needs to specify the absolut path for a file in the FILENAME= option. I would need instead a relative path, i.e. only the name of the file because the script that launch this SQL command is dependant on the installation path decided by the user, during the installation. Is there a way to pass to the FILENAME only the name of the file? Hope to have been clear :-)
In SQL Server you can do a SELECT INTO to create a new table, much like CREAT TABLE AS in Oracle. I'm putting together a dynamic script that will create a table with the number of columns being the dynamic part of my script. Got any suggestions that come to mind?
Example:
I need to count the number of weeks between two dates, my columns in the table need to be at least one for every week returned in my query.
I'm thinking of getting a count of the number of weeks then building my column string comma separated then do my CREATE TABLE statement rather then the SELECT INTO... But I'm not sure I'll be able to do that using a variable that holds the string of column names. I'm guess the only way I can do this is via either VBScript or VB rather then from within the database.
Hi all, I am trying to create a view with approx. 3000 columns... and got the following error message:
"CREATE VIEW failed because column 'HSEPRIN' in view 'MyTestView' exceeds the maximum of 1024 columns.
Is it mean the max number of columns for each table is 1024? I thought in SQL server the table can contain as much information as possible. Anyone can help to answer my question?

I have a question regarding a locking scheme in MSSQL I hope you guys can help. In Sybase, I am able to specify datarow locking in DDL (ex. create table, alter table). Can I do the same in MSSQL or is there an equivalent option in CREATE TABLE statement in MSSQL? I came across a few articles in MSDN about datarow locking and it seems to me that MSSQL only allows locking through DML... Is that true? Thanks.
Here is the alter statement that I am trying to use to create a relationship between 2 tables. This does not seem to work on mobile. What am I doing wrong?

Is there a way to create a Batch file that will run an Update Statement and schedule it to run?I've used bcp to extract data to a txt file before, but i'm not sure if an Update can be performed.I'm using SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition so i don't have Server Agent available.
I have a table with Year , Account and Amount as fields. I want to
SELECT Year, Account, sum(Amount) AS Amt
FROM GLTable
WHERE Year <= varYear
varYear being a variable which is each year from a query
SELECT Distinct Year FROM GLTable
My thought was that I would need to pass a variable into a select statement which then would be used as the source in my Data Flow Task.
What I have done is to defined two variables as follows
Name: varYear (this will hold the year)
Scope: Package
Data type: String
Name:vSQL (This will hold a SQL statement using the varYear)
Scope: Package
Data type: String
Value: "SELECT Year, Account, sum(Amount) AS Amount FROM GLTable WHERE Year <=" + @[User::varYear]
I've created a SQL Task as follows
Result set: Full Result Set
Connection Type: OLE DB
SQL Statement: SELECT DISTINCT Year FROM GLTable
Result Name: 0
Variable Name: User::varYear
Next I created a For Each Loop container with the following parameters
Enumerator: Foreach ADO Enumerator
ADO Object source Variable: User::varYear
Enumeration Mode: Rows in First Table
I then created a Data Flow Task in the Foreach Loop Container and as the source used OLE DB Source as follows
Data Access Mode: SQL Command from Variable
Variable Name: User::varYear
However this returns a couple of errors "Statement(s) could not be prepared."
and "Incorrect syntax near '='.".
I'm not sure what is wrong or if this is the right way to accomplish what I am trying to do. I got this from another thread "Passing Variables" started 15 Nov 2005.
I need to expand resursion level for resursive CTE expression within CREATE FUNCTION statement for inline table function to a value greater than default. It turns out that OPTION clause for MAXRECURSION hint perfectly works if I use it outside CREATE FUNCTION (as well as CREATE VIEW for non-parametrized queries), but it does not within CREATE FUNCTION statement - I'm getting error:

Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'option'.
Here is the function:

P.S. I'm really sorry if it is about syntax, but I could not find it in the documentation.
I'm trying to create a WHERE statement that will calculate values from our current fiscal year to the last complete month.I'm using code that was created for us that does the calculations for our entire fiscal years. I thought I had fixed the WHERE statement to work like we wanted last year, but it appears to be broken now after trying it again in January and February. I'm guessing my WHERE statement only works for March and up, but how to get it to work for every month. Most attempts I'm trying it's just returning very large and inaccurate values.
I included my WHERE statement below of what I originally had that worked last year. The @BeginYear/Month/etc are retrieved from a different table and @Month is just set to MONTH(GETDATE())-1.
WHERE (YEAR(SA3.DocumentDate)=@BeginYear AND MONTH(SA3.DocumentDate)>=@BeginMonth AND MONTH(SA3.DocumentDate)<=@Month) OR (YEAR(SA3.DocumentDate)=@EndYear AND MONTH(SA3.DocumentDate)<=@EndMonth AND MONTH(SA3.DocumentDate)>=@Month)
